Fears (Note Taken, Spoiler)

So I am not one to get scared over a movie, but I have not had a normal sleeping pattern since watching this particular one. Taken. The stroyline is a former spy allows his 17 year old daughter to go to Paris with a friend of her's during the summer. The two girls get to Paris and then are abducted by some Eastern European Mobsters and sold into prostitution. The Father then goes in search of his daughter, only to find her being auctioned off as some "prime-meat". Yes, there is redemption in the movie, but it is some of the scenes that are forever ingraved to my memory. Scenes in which girls ranging from 16-25 are drugged up and raped. I sit here still awake at 11:37, five days after seeing this movie, still haunted by the filming of what these women are going through and the thought that there are some people who go after even younger females, literally little girls, for the same thing sickens me. The fear that I have, which is driven by the scenes I saw, is that something more common and not as easily traced as we would like in order to stop it.

If you did read this please pray that these people will be brought to justice and that the women who do go through this will some how be able to live again, to trust again. Pray for me and others who are haunted by the scenes of this movie.
